Problem
Slow Line Speed
The existing gas oven being used to cure the rubber coating limited the line speed to 40 feet (12.2 meters) per minute.
Excessive Floor Space
The gas oven required 12 feet (3.7 meters) of valuable manufacturing floor space.
Environmental Concerns
OSHA/environmental issues were created by the gas oven.
Solution
Heat
Two Model 4185-38 Infrared Strip Heaters were used to apply heat to cure the rubber coating.
Power Control
A Model 664F Phase Angle SCR Power Controller controlled the power to the heaters.
Instant On/Off
The Infrared Strip Heaters heated up and cooled down instantly based upon signals received from the SCR Power Controller.
Benefits
Faster Line Speed
With the Infrared Strip Heaters, line speed increased by 75 percent to 70 feet (21.34 meters) per minute.
Regained Floor Space
The manufacturer regained 8 feet (2.4 meters) of valuable floor space for other processes.
Environmentally Safe
The new heating process eliminated the OSHA/environmental issues associated with the gas oven that was replaced.
Flexible Heating System
The power to the Infrared Strip Heaters was easily adjusted by the Phase Angle SCR Power Controller when part size changed.
Responsive Heating System
The instant on/off capability of the heaters allowed the manufacturer to start the heating process without any warm-up time.
